KENYA, Maasai Mara: In a photograph taken by the Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism (MEAACT) 23 June 2015, Josphat Mako (right) Maasai guide and companion to author and travel writer Stuart Butler, stands with a Maasai companion known as Lemeria as the sun begins to set over the Mara North Conservancy adjacent to Kenya's world famous Maasai Mara National Reserve. Throughout the months of May and June, Stuart and Mako walked over 200km across traditional lands belonging to Kenya's Maasai. Embarking from the high, remote and forested Loita Hills they headed west, skirting the edge of the world famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, passing through private and community conservancies before finishing at the foot of the Oloololo Escarpment. During the expedition, Stuart and Mako visited numerous Maasai villages known as manyattas spending time with both past and present generations of Maasai people, learning about their traditional cultures and contemporary Maasai lifestyles, and the pressure of the modern world and the 21st Century, conservation, political pressures and tourism, all of which influence and contribute to Maasai life today.

Most likely 100 years old, sitting deep in the woods going through a pine tree you can't put your arms around.

Moncef, of the Le Kef agriculture school, is an enthusiastic proponent of conservation agriculture. Here he is telling us about a direct seeder from Brazil. This a vital message for North Africa - so more strength to his arm.
I took this picture at Mountainview Conservation Centre and I really like how it turned out. He just looks so serene. :)
Drought of the Archives: New Yorkers have a long history of coming together to conserve. When we faced water shortages in the 1930s to ’50s, stickers and posters served as handy reminders. Their message holds up! 💦
Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity sticker, date unknown. The Great Bear Spring Company sold bottled water, so their motive for sponsoring this public service material is up for interpretation.

After a quick breakfast, we were taken on a ride by the smaller service boat into the Conservation Zone. Now we did not at that point know what exactly was in there, except that it was an opportunity for some kayaking, something I was not inclined to do as I have never done it before in my life and certainly didn't want to cut my teeth on the open sea! At any rate, photography is my primary passion, and it would be difficult to do that while kayaking, which requires the use of both hands. We are heading to the gap between the two karst mountains now, and will be following that boat which is ahead of us. I was surprised that one of the large cruise boats has ventured this close to the Conservation Zone. (Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, Nov. 2016)

Teens spend the summer working to conserve and restore Maryland State Parks, discover their natural world and gain the skills to protect them.
I took this photos at the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College. The Water Conservation Garden has nearly five acres of displays that showcase water conservation through a series of beautiful themed gardens, such as a native plant garden and a vegetable garden, as well as how-to displays such as mulch and irrigation exhibits. Admission is free, and the Garden can be viewed on a self-guided tour, or through one of our programs.

Belsize conservation area was designated in 1973. The area is characterised by grand Italianate villas, covered in a type of render called ‘stucco’ to resemble stone. These villas have ornate Classical details such as grand porches or ‘porticos’, large timber sash windows, panelled doors and applied decoration to the fronts of the properties.
The adjacent streets are more domestic in style; houses are red brick with Queen Anne and other vernacular revival details fashionable in the late 19th century. Mature trees, green front gardens and glimpses of gardens through the gaps between houses soften the built form.
Historic buildings and ’green edges’, together with traditional mews properties and high quality 20th century buildings, give Belsize Conservation Area a unique and attractive character.
